About

Open to any quantitative or computational contracts Note: I cannot DM on LinkedIn. If interested in hiring or collaboration, please contact me at the inbox on my website, likelyllc.com Previously worked in scientific computing at SAS as a software developer for ~3 years, and a research statistician at the University of Michigan Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, among many other research positions prior to earning my masters. I've worked on many advanced statistical models, including building Bayesian models to forecast player performance with the Tampa Bay Rays and advanced models for fMRI data analysis in the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry. I've worked in psychiatry departments, gynecology departments, or computer science departments on statistical modeling or developing software related to modeling. I take pride in developing re-usable solutions to problems on real data.
